I wish I knew that BEFORE I hired someone to fix up my porch stairs! My husband and I are disabled veterans and we needed better handrails for our porch. There is still a little work to do, but if the weather stays nice we can finish it ourselves.
Hmmm, the porch does need to be stripped, sanded and refinished....
For any of you who don't know it, Lowes will give a 10% discount to ANY veteran. Show any of the normal cards (retirees, VA card) plus they accept your state DL if it shows your veteran status, where as Home Depot doesn't accept a DL.
